Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 6-[4-({[3-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)methyl]-5-(1-methylethyl)-4-isoxazolyl]methyl}oxy)phenyl]-1-naphthalenecarboxylate (0.116 g, 0.20 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was placed in a microwave reaction tube. Ethanol (1 mL) was added followed by 1 N sodium hydroxide (0.312 mL, 0.31 mmol). The tube was sealed and heated in a microwave reactor to 100° C. for 500 seconds. Additional sodium hydroxide solution (0.2 mL, 0.2 mmol) was added and the solution was heated in a microwave reactor to 100° C. for another 500 seconds. The solution was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid and concentrated. The residue was slurried in hexanes. The solid was slurried in water and the mixture was decanted and the solid dried to yield the title compound as a white solid (0.112 g, 100% as 0.15EtOAc). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 13.14 (s, 1H), 8.91 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 8.10 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 7.96 (dd, J=2, 9 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (d, J=9 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (m, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (t, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (d, J=9 Hz, 2H), 5.08 (s, 2H), 4.29 (s, 2H), 3.36 (septet, J=7 Hz, overlapping H2O 1H), 1.22 (d, J=7 Hz, 6H).
